Taking Radical Personal Responsiblity

321go • September 20, 2024

It’s just like it sounds.

Taking responsibility in everything you do and then some.

You might think that this might be extreme.

But it’s not.

Let me tell you why.

Who have you seen being extremely successful that always has something to blame? Always having someone or something to blame as to why they aren’t reaching their goals.

The answer is next to none.

Because successful people take CONTROL of what they do on a regular basis. They own all the failures and look at them as opportunities to grow and learn from them.

When you constantly blame some externally for why you can’t do something, you instantly let go of any control which leads to inaction which leads to not reaching your goals.

You have A LOT more control over what is happening in your life then you think and in my area of expertise I talk to a lot of people about taking control over their health and lifestyle habits so they can optimize their well-being that will lead them to be a better version of themselves.

This is where taking radical personal responsibility comes into play.

I challenge you to write down the things that are barriers that are stopping you from reaching your goals(health, professional, family, etc).

Then what I want you to do is write down the things that would guarantee your failure for each of those goals. Sounds backwards right?

Well, the next step following that is to write down what is the OPPOSITE of what would guarantee failure. Which will undoubtedly lead you to the actionable steps that you need to take to reach your goals. Then taking radical personal responsibility to make sure you hold yourself accountable to doing those things on a regular basis no matter what happens. It won’t always be perfect but throwing in the towel should never be an option.

It’s not perfect action that leads to success, it’s consistent action that leads to success. Take radical personal responsibility in your life and you will succeed.
